Privacy Policy

The website [www.wegowise.com] (the Site) is provided by WegoWise, Inc.
and its corporate affiliates (collectively, “we,” “us,” and “our”). By
accessing or using the Site or by registering individually or on behalf
of your organization as a member of the Site (you and, as appropriate,
your organization are collectively referred to hereafter as “User,”
“you” or “your”) you signify that you have read, understand and agree to
be bound by our Terms of Service
and you consent to the collection and use of your information as
described in this Privacy Policy (this “Policy”), which is incorporated
into our Terms of Service by reference, whether or not you register on
the Site. If you are unwilling to consent to our collection and use of
your Personal Data as described in this Policy and to accept the terms
in our Terms of Service you should
not use the Site.

Collection and Use of Personal and Demographic Data

Your privacy is important to WegoWise. We at times collect, retain and
utilize Personal Data about you to operate our business and to make
services and other opportunities available. The term “Personal Data”
means personally identifiable information, such as your name, utility
account access user names, utility account access passwords, telephone
number, physical address and email address. We recognize and respect
your privacy concerns relating to this
information.

We obtain Personal Data in a variety of ways; for example, we collect
Personal Data directly from you if you subscribe to services on the
Site, if you sign up for one of our e-mail newsletters, from other
transactions or agreements directly with us, and through any comments
or other information that you share directly with us through the Site.

We may also collect Personal Data or demographic data, such as
information about your premises and utilities usage, directly from you
or from third parties. For example, when you register for an account or
subscribe on the Site, we may ask some questions about the size of your
buildings, utility companies, etc. In addition, if you choose to give
us or a permitted third party access to your utility accounts, we may
collect information about your utility usage and costs from your
utility service provider(s). Demographic data does not identify you
personally and as such is not considered Personal Data. However, if we
combine demographic data with the Personal Data we collect, we will
treat it as Personal Data under this Policy.

If you are submitting data, especially Personal Data, on behalf of a
third party, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the
necessary permission to share that information.

Payment Information

We may ask you to provide us with your billing information (such as
your credit card number, bank account number, and billing address) if
you choose to subscribe to our services, but the portion of the Site
platform where such payment information is entered is currently
operated and controlled by Stripe (a PCI-compliant servicer that
handles all of our payment processing). We do not review your billing
information when you engage in a payment transaction through the Site,
although we do know the amount that is charged to your credit card or
debited from your bank account in any such transaction. Payment
processing is governed by the
Stripe Privacy Policy which we do not control, and as such we
encourage you to review Stripe’s Privacy Policy before submitting any
payments through the Site. Please note that we may change our payment
processor at any time, and we will notify you of any such change.

Customer Service Information

We may collect data from you during customer service interactions
through e-mail or through our live chat platform. Our customer service
software is currently provided by Desk.com. Information you share while
using these support functions may be collected by Desk.com as well. For
more information about how Desk.com collects and stores user
information, please review the
Desk.com Privacy Policy. Please note that we may change our customer
service software provider at any time, and we will notify you of any
such change.]

Activity Tracking

WegoWise may gather information automatically about your use of the
Site through a variety of mechanisms, including server activity
logging, browser cookies, web beacons and embedded scripts. More
information about these technologies is provided below. This
information is used to help us understand how users interact with the
Site, provide information to help us improve the Site, and it allows us
to personalize your experience on the Site. We may utilize third-party
services for data collection and analytics.

WegoWise does not collect Personal Data automatically, but may tie
information that does not identify you (that is collected
automatically) to Personal Data you have (or someone authorized by you
has) provided to us directly. Whenever we associate automatically
collected data with your Personal Data, we will treat it as Personal
Data.

Log Files

As is true of most websites, WegoWise may gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information, which does
not identify you, includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser
type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating
system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We may use this
information to track user habits and improve the functionality of the
Site as a result of our observations.

Cookies

We use cookies to passively store information about your use of the
Site, including your preferences and other session information. A
cookie is a small text file stored on your computer. You may be able to
configure your browser to accept or reject all or some cookies, or
notify you when a cookie is set. However, you may be required enable
cookies in order to use certain features of the Site.

We use cookies to confirm that users are logged in. By default, these
cookies will persist until you choose to explicitly log out. When you
log in, you may choose not to stay logged in after you close the
browser, in which case the cookies used to identify your logged-in
status will terminate once you close your browser. We do not store your
password in any cookies. Most Internet browsers enable users to erase
cookies from their computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, or receive
a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser
instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.

Web Beacons

Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons
(also known as “1x1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in the Site
pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any
electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a page or
e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may
be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to
count visitors to the Site, to monitor how users navigate the Site, to
count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count
how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

Embedded Scripts

An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect
information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links
you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from
our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while
you are connected to the Site, and is deactivated or deleted
thereafter.

ETags

ETags, or entity tags, are a feature of the cache in browsers. It is an
opaque identifier assigned by a web server to a specific version of a
resource found at a URL. If the resource content at that URL ever
changes, a new and different ETag is assigned. Used in this manner
ETags are a form of Device Identifier. ETag tracking may generate
unique tracking values even where the consumer blocks HTTP, Flash, and
HTML5 cookies.

Third-Party Tracking and Do Not Track

Third parties may use tracking technologies in connection with the
Site, which may include the collection of information about your online
activities over time and across third-party websites or online
services. We do not control those tracking technologies and we are not
responsible for them. However, you consent to potentially encountering
third-party tracking technologies in connection with use of the Site
and accept that our statements under this Policy do not apply to the
tracking technologies or practices of such third parties.

Disclosure of Information

We may aggregate your demographic data with that of other users in
order to analyze and compare energy usage and cost trends and to create
graphs, charts, and other infographics to share on the Site and
elsewhere, and you consent to such use.

We may share or transfer your Personal Data as directed to do so by you
(for example, where you direct us to use your account information to
obtain, compile and analyze energy usage data relating to your property
or properties), or where you consent to such disclosure.

We may share or transfer your Personal Data to our third-party
consultants for use in connection with our services. Any such third
parties shall be required to maintain the confidentiality of your
Personal Data in line with this Policy and not use your Personal Data
except in connection with our services to you.

The Site may allow you to create an account as part of a partnership
with other organizations. Creating an account through one of these
partner portals may result in your data being automatically shared with
one or more of our partners, through their WegoWise accounts or through
other means. In this situation, we will indicate on the relevant
portals if your data will be automatically shared with a third party.

You may be presented with opportunities to receive information and/ or
marketing offers directly from third parties. If you do agree to have
your Personal Data shared, your Personal Data will be disclosed to such
third parties and all information you disclose will be subject to the
privacy policy and practices of such third parties. We are not
responsible for the privacy policies and practices of such third
parties and, therefore, you should review the privacy policies and
practices of such third parties prior to agreeing to receive such
information from them. If you later decide that you no longer want to
receive communication from a third party, you will need to contact that
third party directly.

In addition to those explicitly named herein, such as Stripe and
Desk.com, we may use third-party vendors to perform certain services on
behalf of the Site, such as hosting the Site, hosting and managing the
data, designing and/or operating the Site’s features, tracking the Site
analytics, enabling us to send you information, or performing other
administrative services. We may provide these vendors with access to
user information, including Personal Data, to carry out the services
they are performing for you or for us. To the extent that we use
third-party analytics service providers to evaluate and provide us with
information about the use of the Site and viewing of our content, we
may share Personal Data with these analytics service providers, and
they may set and access their own cookies, web beacons and embedded
scripts and other tracking devices on your computer or mobile device.
WegoWise expects all of its vendors to operate under federal and state
laws regarding consumer privacy.

We may transfer Personal Data to third-party vendors who provide
services that allow us to enhance the information we present to you
either now or in the future, or who provide services that may help us
provide additional services or features to you either now or in the
future. For example, we may submit your data to the EPA Energy Star
Portfolio Manager service, from which we may retrieve an Energy Star
rating (if available) for your building.

We may access, use, preserve, transfer and disclose your information
(including Personal Data), including disclosure to third parties, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) to satisfy any
applicable law, regulation, subpoenas, governmental requests or legal
process if in our good faith opinion such is required or permitted by
law; (ii) to protect and/or defend the Site’s Terms of
Use or other policies applicable to the Site,
including investigation of potential violations thereof; (iii) to
protect the safety, rights, property or security of the Site or any
third party; and/or (iv) to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud,
security or technical issues. Further, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, we may use IP address or other computer and mobile
device identifiers, to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with
third parties such as copyright owners, Internet service providers,
wireless service providers and/or law enforcement agencies, including
disclosing such information to third parties, all in our discretion.
Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

We may, in our sole discretion, share or transfer your Personal Data to
protect the security or integrity of our databases or the Site, to
protect our business or reputation, to take precautions against legal
liability, in the event of a business transition (see below), to
protect and defend our rights or property, for required institutional
risk control, or for resolving disputes, inquiries or complaints with
respect to your use of the Site.

Furthermore, we may also provide to your or our partners (and other
third partners who might benefit from the information) with aggregated
de-identified data, i.e., compiled data that does not in itself identify
you, for research and commercial purposes.

Your California Privacy Rights

procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your Personal
Data. The security measures in place on the Site and computer systems
aim to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of the information you

security of your information, please email us at .

any Personal Data from children younger than the age of thirteen (13).
We will delete any Personal Data collected that we later determine to
be from a user younger than the age of thirteen (13). If you are a
parent or guardian of a child under the age of thirteen (13) and

Business Transitions

In the event WegoWise goes through a business transition, such as a
merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of
its assets, your Personal Data might be among the assets transferred.
You will be notified via this Site of any such change in ownership or
control of your Personal Data.

Data Security

WegoWise is a cloud-based web application that currently operates on
top of various platforms including, at present, Amazon Web Services
(AWS) and DigitalOcean. This means that we do not operate our own
servers, store your data locally, or interact with any credit card
information directly. We expect our service providers to utilize
acceptable standards of data security. We encourage you to visit read
more about AWS and
DigitalOcean
security before using the Site. Please note that we may change our cloud
service providers at any time, and we will notify you of any such
change.

WegoWise uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to ensure that your
interactions with the Site are secure and private. Any attempt to access
the application, even public pages, through the standard unsecured HTTP
protocol is rerouted to a secure connection.

Username and Password

If you subscribe to the Site, you will have the opportunity to create a
unique username and password to facilitate access to your subscriber
information. Please be aware that it is your responsibility to keep
this information secure in order to prevent others from gaining access
to your subscriber information. If you believe that your username and
password have been compromised, please contact us at
.

Data Retention and Backup

In order to reduce the risk of data loss, we may perform regular
database backups of the WegoWise database and restore data from such
backups. Backups are used for the purpose of insuring against
unforeseen events, and are not shared with any third parties.

Changes in WegoWise Privacy Policy

If we decide to change this Policy, we will post the changes at this
Site and at other places we deem appropriate. We reserve the right to
